Low Key, Clean, Retro... - Review of Long Holiday Motel

Low Key, Clean, Retro...

This old style motel sits at the west edge of town near the Gunnison River. New owners have completely remodeled the 10 units, and even refurbished the fabulous old sign. There is a stuffed trout mounted on the wall of the motel office, which is, of course, awesome.
Pros: Very reasonable rates for high summer tourist season. Pet friendly! Room was exceptionally clean. Beds weren't huge, but very comfortable. There is a lush lawn out front suitable for pets and kids. AC worked very well. Cable tv. High speed internet. Small fridge and microwave. Shower was hot and water pressure excellent. Very nice proprietors. Great jumping off point for exploring the area. There is a great walk right from the motel that takes you over the Gunnison River and into a riverside park. Again, great for kids and pets, or anyone wanting a stroll beneath the cottonwoods.
Cons: This place is no frills, and while there is supposed to be coffee, tea and cookies out in the morning, don't count on it. Walls are thin, and you can hear the neighbors if they're loud, and definitely will hear water moving through the pipes. Other than the overhead light, there is just a tiny lamp, so reading while others are asleep is difficult. There's a local airport right across the highway, and a helicopter awoke us at 7 a.m.
If you're excepting a Holiday Inn, then you will be very disappointed,...This old style motel sits at the west edge of town near the Gunnison River.

This motel is quaint. Clean rooms, only 10 rooms. No coffee makers in the rooms, but when asked the owner was able to provide one, down side the coffee seemed a bit old. Initially she advised there would be coffee and tea at the front desk at 7am but by 9am still nothing was prepared, so for those who need that coffee you may need to ring the bell at 7am...this was not an issue for me specifically. My room had a strong odd smell Knut the owner was able to I've me to another one and was accommodating. Fine for one night.

Thank you to the people at Long Holiday Motel.... your rooms are reasonably priced, clean and quaint. Nice size bathroom with hot water with good water pressure. Beds are pretty comfortable, I would stay again. Nice location... in between town and the Blue Mesa.

Thanks again, Trisha, Karen and Miranda

Stayed here with 6 friends on a long scooter trip. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and affordable with a western look. The hotel is off he main road but very quiet. We will defiantly stay here again if we are in the area.

Looking for a clean, family friendly, dog friendly one night stay -this is it! The beds were SO comfortable, the staff was very nice, and the rooms were clean. Microwave and fridge in the room. The rooms aren't too big - but perfect for one night. The yard out front was great for the kids and dog to play in.

Went to Gunnison to connect with my sisters for a family reunion. They stayed at a condo, which was next to this motel. Not enough room in the condo for all of us; so my wife and I got at a room at this motel. There was a connecting gate between the two properties, so visiting worked out well. The motel, which looks to have been built in the 1960's, had been nicely updated. Though the paint job was a bit garish, the room was comfortable with a nice bathroom. The owner was very helpful with suggestions about local attractions. $104 per night after taxes. Coffee and fridge in the room. Think there was also a microwave.

Room Tip: Wifi probably works better closer to the office. Not so good in room 1.
